Legend has it that once upon a time, a powerful tribe lived in the lands between the Alatau and Karatau ranges. A boy, the tenth son, was born in one of the families. He grew up as a brave young man and, as a leader, he brought many victories to his people. But he was treacherously poisoned. The golden youth was buried in a mound, and thousands of horses passed over his grave so he could hear: his people continue to live and thrive... This is the legend of the 'Golden Man'. His discovery was the greatest archaeological find in Kazakhstan. But who was this young man really? What trials did he face? And what is the main mystery of the 'Kazakh Tutankhamun'?

Once, foreign researchers considered the vast expanses of the Great Steppe, hidden within the impenetrable Soviet Union, to be a wild and primitive land with little historical interest. Their astonishment was palpable when the iron curtain fell, revealing Kazakhstan's medieval architectural masterpieces to the world. The majestic mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi captured the imagination, its blue domes rivalling the sky itself. The Aisha-Bibi mausoleum, located slightly east, is more modest but also gentler, more feminine. Both of these grand complexes continue to attract researchers seeking to unravel their mysteries.
